Daily Book Sale
Did you know that the Classics Library has a daily book sale? Books priced ridiculously low are tastefully displayed in a bookcase to the left of our New Books display in the Cubby Hole. Please check them out for serendipitous discoveries 9:00 am–4:00 pm M-F and feed the piggy bank using exact change and tag the book title(s) on the printed list next to the piggy bank, so that we know when to remove the title(s) from the list and empty the piggy! The funds received from these sales supplement our pitifully meager office supply budget which pays for the pencils and note papers we place throughout the Classics Library, the staplers, the tape, the scissors you use, so we are most grateful for your support!
Monetary support
Whereas the Classics Library has a generous budget for books thanks to an endowed fund by Louise Taft and her husband, former classics chair, William Semple, the Classics Library has virtually no monies for infrastructure -- staffing, furniture, digitization, technical equipment, etc. -- so we are most grateful also for monetary donations. Please contact Rebecka Lindau (lindaura@ucmail.uc.edu, 513-556-1316) if you wish to contribute to our gift fund. Donors will receive special invitations to events (author celebrations, poetry readings, music performances, theater recitals, receptions), tours and exhibitions. Thank you!
Book donations
Please note that at this time, we are not able to receive large collections of books as we have little physical space and have some 6,000 gift books waiting to be cataloged. However, we still accept individual books, especially rare books and manuscripts, although all books related to antiquity are of interest to us. When, hopefully, we will again be able to accept book collections, we request that you make a list of titles for us to check against our holdings. As we have one of the largest and most comprehensive classics collections in the country, it is possible that we already own some of the books you wish to donate. If so, we reserve the right to add items to our book sale or discard books in poor condition. Please note that we, in most cases, cannot come to your home and pick up boxes with books, but will have to ask you to bring them to us. We will meet you by the parking kiosk on Clifton Avenue in front of the Blegen Library building, so you will not need to carry boxes from your car to the library or look for parking. Although we are happy to write a letter listing books donated for tax or other purposes, we are not able to appraise their value. Thank you for your cooperation.
